THE PREFACE.
THE PRAEFACE.
They who put to sea, according to their several scopes & purposes, so do they steer their Compasses, & proceed in their travels answerably. Such as set out merely to satisfy their pleasure, or some private end; when once the heavens begin to be beset with clouds, the winds grow high, & the storm approaching threatens apparent danger, when their companies are scattered & severed from them, or when the foulness of their stomachs and the noisome humours there, cause, that they cannot brook the sea, but with much tedious disquiet & sickness; They turn their courses & make to shore with as much speed as they may.
THey who put to sea, according to their severall scopes & purposes, so doe they steere their Compasses, & proceed in their travells ansvvearablely. Such as sett out meerely to satisfy their pleasure, or some private end; vvhen once the heavens begyn to be besett vvith clouds, the vvynds grovve high, & the storme approaching threatens apparent danger, vvhen their companyes are scattered & severed from them, or vvhen the foulenes of their stomacks and the noysome humors ther, cause, that they cannot brooke the sea, but vvith much taedious disquiet & sicknes; They turne their courses & make to shoare vvith as much speede as they may.
Others who seriously intend to make a voyage of it, & are bound for some remote place, & resolved to fetch some precious commodities from a far country; they reckon upon hazards, expect the common calamities of the sea, & determine to undergo, what ever ⟨image 10⟩they do expect, or shall befall. The conclusion is: willing they are to adventure the loss of their lives, but not willing, to loose their voyage, therefore on they vvill: extreme necessities may overbear them, but no fears can discourage them in there course.
